music is a place

why do we presume to know what music is? the effect that it has on us?

music is a place that makes me feel alright. the color is good, the lighting is better. music is a feeling, a presence, a warmth – it envelops it surrounds, it penetrates my soul. so powerful, strong, but gentle and soft, a place to feel safe. swirling and turning ins spirals and twists.

music.

even just saying the word aloud sounds magical. sounds! convey messages, feeling, relationships, emotion. anything you could possibly wish, the world.

music is everywhere, colorful light: a friend to dance with as you play in the sun, a blanket to keep you warm well through the night; a gypsy, a goddess, a renegade soul.

that is what music is to me. how do you say what the notes are to you?
